ChatGPT, the dialogue-based AI, is capable of understanding human language and generating detailed human-like written text. With the ease of use like no other, it took the world by storm.
Excited by the potential tool for hiring, MeetFrank asked a burning question: How can we reduce recruitment admin time with ChatGPT?
We did a deep dive on what this new AI phenomenon means for recruitment. The main problem to solve here is the administration tasks that unnecessarily take up recruiters time.
Our goal is to free up their time which could be invested into perfect hires instead. So, we added pioneering AI generation possibilities to the MeetFrank hiring platform.
Let’s see how the unique integration in the recruitment industry works:
2. Set the target (Employment type, speciality, location, salary etc) as always.
3. In the next stage for Introductory Message and Job Role Description you’re now able to click on the Generate with AI button to save some time.
4. Voilà! You can see it delivers pretty much ready-to-publish descriptions. Just read them though, edit if needed and you are ready to go!
Write candidate outreach copy with ChatGPT
MeetFrank users do not apply for specific jobs, they request to be headhunted. Therefore you need a perfect Pitch Message to attract top talent:
1. Finish up the job opening with a Pitch Message that will be used for candidate outreach.
2. If you are time-pressured and you’re not a natural writer, then again Generate with AI tool comes to help.
3. Edit if needed. But the time spent it’s nothing compared to writing Pitch Message from scratch
We asked: How is ChatGPT useful for recruitment in short? And it answered: ChatGPT can work 24/7 reducing the time-to-hire.
Want to ease your recruitment process?
With MeetFrank you will reduce the time & money spent on recruitment – 10x compared to traditional hiring. Daily 5 minutes spent on MeetFrank frees up your time to invest in perfect hires.
It is in MeetFrank’s DNA to improve the hiring process for both sides – the company and the applicant. Now we have opened a live marketplace of people currently open for headhunting. The Talent Agent connects the top companies with best talent even more efficiently.
📱App view for Talents
Headhunting app MeetFrank matches UNIQUE talent like you with QUALITY recruiters. The RELEVANT offers approach you – not the other way around. How does it work?
In our standard service, the applicant profile is only disclosed when the talent replies to the company’s request. The default profile status is set to anonymous.
With the new Talent Agent you can find out who wants to hire you – without applying to jobs. Without sticking a notable post-it on your forehead “I WANT A NEW JOB”, Talent Agent spreads that message discreetly by making your profile available to relevant headhunters. Let the dream job find you – on your terms. Not the other way around.
How does it work?
✅ Set your profile “Visible” – answer a few quick questions and add your LinkedIn profile.
👀 We’ll show your profile to relevant recruiters.
⭐ Recruiters themselves will pitch you new job opportunities. Just pick the best offer!
Think of MeetFrank as your career assistant (without any fees) – figuratively knocking door to door and finding out who wants to hire you and how much they are willing to pay.
Although the service breaks new ground, MeetFrank always commits to the core value – we put you, the talent, always first. You, and only you, decide if your profile is visible for recruiters or if you wish to hide it from certain companies. If you decide to remain anonymous, your profile is disclosed to the recruiter only if you start a conversation with them.
💻 Web view for Recruiters
The time, when recruiters could lazily sit back and wait for the applicants to roll in, is over. Actions must be taken immediately, or else you will lose the top talent.
Nobody has time to write every profile on LinkedIn or talk to everyone at a nosy business cafeteria. No worries, we got you sorted!
As always, MeetFrank does the initial verification for you. We will ease the headhunting progress by gathering RELEVANT and QUALITY talent, who are actually open for talks.

TOP3 reasons why MeetFrank’s talent-driven marketplace is the solution:
Life’s too short to spend it hating Mondays.
For Talents
🤫 DISCRETION – the current employer remains unaware of your new career wishes.
⏱️ TIME SAVER – Nobody has the time to keep checking job ads. Sit back and relax, MeetFrank brings offers directly to you.
🤝 CUSTOM-MADE – No vacancy available? Your profile inspires them to open one (or some companies are just secretive).
For Recruiters
⏩ FASTER AND CHEAPER HIRE – drop the traditional platforms and let MeetFrank ease the recruitment process.
🚀 ENGAGED TOP TALENT – get instant responses and attract people, who may not have applied for the role, but are open for talks.
⭐ WIDER SAMPLE OF CANDIDATES – MeetFrank offers them discretion (they don’t want to add the notable “I want a new job” tag on LinkedIn).
But there are also many companies that do not want to risk hiring additional full-time employees right now. Or that simply need project-based help urgently.
To bring together people looking for a job and companies in need of talent, we have launched three new job offer types:
Freelance part-time jobs
Freelance project-based jobs
Internships
We hope this will give greater flexibility to the companies searching for top talent, and will also help to bring more opportunities to the market.
Let’s take a closer look at each job offer type in the MeetFrank app. 👀
Introducing freelance part-time jobs
The part-time job offers are a good fit for companies looking to hire people at a lower weekly work volume than a full-time role.
For example, some companies might need a designer only 50-60h per month. The part-time jobs provide an opportunity to hire talent at an agreed-upon hourly contribution.
💎 We recommend to use a part-time job offer when:
You’re looking to hire someone at a lower schedule than full-time
You’re looking for a team member or a freelancer for long-term collaboration (6+ months)
You’re certain that you can provide a stable workflow to the person hired
Introducing freelance project-based jobs
The project-based jobs are suitable for companies looking to bring top talent into a specific limited-time project.
This could mean a 3-month software development project where you need extra hands, or a one-off consultation from someone highly experienced in their field.
By letting the job-seekers know that a job is project-based, businesses can attract top talent looking for a side gig.
You can get top talent not available via freelance job sites to join your projects. That sounds pretty cool, right?
💎We recommend to use the project-based job offer when:
You need extra workforce to a specific limited-time project (1-6 months)
You want to find a top-level expert to consult your company
You want to hire a contractor for a limited-time without any commitment
Introducing internships
The spring is here and so will soon be the summer. This means that many graduates and university students will be looking for internship opportunities. 👀👀👀
In today’s grim outlook, taking interns to your team might seem more difficult. But pause and think about how much you could help young talented people looking to take the first steps in their career.
We hope that many companies in the MeetFrank family will help the graduates by adding cool internship offers.

To help job-seekers around the globe to find a job during the difficult times, we are offering all new companies hiring with MeetFrank a free trial and we will extend it throughout the crisis.
❤️ Help us help the community by adding all your job offers to the MeetFrank app.
And as you might imagine, we will be struck hard by the crisis.
Two weeks ago, we found ourselves facing a question: how to come out of this with enough money in the bank and a strong team.
But we weren’t going to hide our heads in the sand. In fact, we talked to our team, investors and clients; and took fast steps.
Our three priorities have been to support our team, help the community, and come out of the crisis stronger.
And we hope that openly telling about it will also inspire other companies to make the right decisions as well.
Our TOP 1 priority is to protect our team
In MeetFrank, the team is our second family. We want everyone to have a safe job and stable income throughout the crisis.
In order to do that, we had to cut the costs somehow. Otherwise, there would be no company and no work for anyone in a few months’ time.
The most obvious thing to do ahead of a crisis, small or big, is to secure 6-12 months of runway:
Cut all non-critical costs
Ask your business partners to reduce their fees
Find additional revenue streams or get extra investment
But often, cutting costs is not enough to reach a sustainable expense level. And that’s when companies face a painful decision: they have to lower workforce costs.
We already see companies in the travel and transport sector suffer and go through painful layoffs.
To avoid letting people go, we chose another path where every team member contributes their share: a pay cut of 25%.
The salary cut was only applied to the employees whose gross salary is above €2000 gross per month. For the management team, the salary cut was applied from March 1, 2020. For the rest of the team from April 1, 2020. We will restore our salary levels when our revenue is back on February 2020 level.
How did it go?
Everyone in the team understood that taking a temporary pay cut is necessary to a) keep everyone on a payroll and b) help the company to survive.
By accepting a lower salary, our team not only helped each other, but also the community. We were able to keep every person in our strong team, and can launch new features that people need faster.
Supporting the community
To help job-seekers around the globe, we paused many ongoing projects to launch the Remote Work Feed in our app.
We also made a change in our product’s pricing plans: Now, all new companies hiring with MeetFrank will have a free trial and we will extend it throughout the crisis.
We also asked all our existing and past clients to add all their remote job offers to our app. The result? – We’ve been making some of our top results these past weeks in terms of job offers added. And 45% of all job applications made are for remote jobs.
Meanwhile, we are figuring out new product features to help people cope during the crisis.
The past two weeks have been intense. But we feel that we are set to come out of this stronger than ever before.
We are extremely thankful for the collective support of our team. You’re our heroes! Now let’s get through the hard times together.
P.S. If your company is hiring, please add your job offers to the MeetFrank platform to help the job-seekers. Sign up here.
Bringing transparency to the job market is in MeetFrank’s DNA.
From salary statistics to job market reports, we’re looking to build the next-generation job market and improve the hiring process for both sides – the company and the applicant.
This time, we wanted to empower the companies hiring with MeetFrank, so that they can attract more top talent and have more visibility to what’s happening in the job market.
We are thrilled to present two new features now available to all companies hiring through the MeetFrank app: Job Offer Sharing and Activity Feed.
We see both of these features as a big step towards an open job market where talented people around the globe can have a complete overview of available career choices and are empowered to make most out of their professional life.
Up until now, all the job opening published in the MeetFrank app were only visible to the users that matched with the offer.
On one hand, this meant that companies only got top-matching applicants to their job openings. On the other hand, it made it impossible to share your cool job offers and MeetFrank company profiles outside of the app.
With the new Job Offer Sharing feature, companies can share their MeetFrank job offers publicly across the web.
Each shared job offer will have a beautiful landing page with your company information. You can share it on social media, via email, or any other way you like!
You can see an example of a shared MeetFrank job opening here.
But why would you prefer sharing the MeetFrank job offer link to job boards or your website? Here a few reasons:
1. MeetFrank shared job offers look beautiful and provide more context
In addition to explaining what the job offer is about, your publicly shared MeetFrank job offers will also include:
information about your company
good-looking visuals
your company’s social media profiles
If you have added office perks and media articles to your MeetFrank company profile, these will be visible as well.
So instead of a boring text-heavy job offer that most people dread reading, you’ll be sharing a highly engaging sales presentation of why someone should apply to the role you’re hiring for.
2. You only get relevant job applicants
To keep the relevance of job applicants on a high level, all the interested job-seekers will be matched with the job offer by MeetFrank’s matching algorithms. Hence the “Get the app” button on the public job offer page.
How to share your MeetFrank job offers
All the job offers that you publish on MeetFrank will have their own landing page.
To share your MeetFrank job openings publicly, simply:
Log in to your MeetFrank Employer account
Open the job offer you want to share
Scroll down until you find the sharing link
Share it with your audience
Tip: Make sure to fill in your company profile in MeetFrank, so that all your shared job offers will look just perfect.
You can update your company profile on your MeetFrank Employer account.
NEW Feature #2: Activity Feed for employers
There are only 8 work hours in a day, and nobody has the time to keep checking job boards and other companies’ career pages to know what’s happening in the job market.
But it would be so nice to know what are the hottest job offers in the market and who are other companies looking for.
This is why we built the MeetFrank Activity Feed – to give employers around the globe a birdseye view of the job market.
The MeetFrank Activity Feed will show you the latest updates in the MeetFrank job market: added job offers, applications, and much more. You can even zoom in and take a look at the job offers.
We are looking to add new information to the Activity Feed in the upcoming month. Right now, you can see the latest global job market updates in chronological order.
How to access the MeetFrank Activity Feed?
The Activity Feed will include all the job offers published on the MeetFrank platform.
To see the latest job market news:
Log in to your MeetFrank Employer account
Find the Insights tab in the left-hand menu
Browse the Activity Feed to get the latest updates
Easy a that!

Woohoo, we’ve got some wonderful news! Big thanks to everyone for the trust!
Our team has been working very hard for the past few months to do something out of the ordinary. We believe that aspiration comes before location. And we’ve made it our mission to show the best job offers that align with our users vision, globally. In today’s interconnected world, we see that location doesn’t matter as much.
Furthermore as there are some big companies today that are completely office-free, such as Automattic for example. We want to bring the world closer together and make sure everyone can discover their full potential, globally.
And here is our latest press release:
MeetFrank announced today its closure of a €1.5M funding round led by investors Karma.vc, Enern VC, Change Ventures, and Hummingbird. MeetFrank will use the capital to launch its new “relocation without location” feature that opens up international borders and helps global talent relocate for work.
The demand for talent is not being met on a global scale. According to research by HAYS, talent mismatches – the gap between skills employers are seeking and the skills available among job applicants – is increasing and could significantly thwart business growth.
MeetFrank’s secret career app, a machine learning and chatbot combo that anonymously matches companies with top talent based on data such as salary expectations, skill set and experience, is helping to solve the mismatch problem with its new “relocation without location” app feature. MeetFrank’s philosophy is that aspiration, not location, is essential for attracting the best talent. Applicants can now easily discover new opportunities abroad, and companies get talent that best aligns with their job requirements from outside of their local talent pool.
“Talent is willing to move for the right opportunity, but in most cases, the right opportunity never arises. Job opportunities outside your ecosystem are often inaccessible and global talent doesn’t know what their global options are. Additionally, great companies miss out on the best people because they don’t know how to reach them,” says MeetFrank CEO Kaarel Holm. “We want to match people to the companies that align with their views, values, and aspirations. Currently, the global talent pool is too biased towards location instead of attracting the best talent,” he continues.
Users are not required to provide their real name or any other identifying personal information in order to get matches with potential positions. The company aims to otherwise bring transparency to the job market with explicit salary offers and by helping passive job seekers assess their employment options without alerting their current bosses to their job search.
“MeetFrank has built an amazing platform that we believe will fundamentally change the way talent relocates and acquires work around the world. Employers will be able to find candidates across functions and geographies on a single platform that will become mission-critical in attracting talent,” says Filip Popovic, Principal at Enern VC. “We chose to invest in MeetFrank because they have a great team, the capability to build further traction, and they are on the cutting edge of technology to disrupt the recruitment process globally,” Filip Popovic continues.
To date, MeetFrank has raised €2.45M in total funding and currently has over 265,000 users, with its largest markets being Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Germany. Founded in 2017, MeetFrank has achieved hockey stick growth in local job markets and now aims to become the go-to talent-focused global job marketplace.
MeetFrank aims to democratise the job market. Our secret career app tells you who wants to hire you and how much they are willing to pay. For jobseekers, the service is completely anonymous – the employer does not receive the applicant’s personal information unless they declare interest in the job. The app also shows the average salary of jobs that directly match the jobseekers profile.
MeetFrank was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, with an office in Helsinki. The app has over 265,000 users worldwide. The service was launched as the official recruitment platform for Slush 2017. Companies who have used the recruitment service include Futurice, Wolt, Accenture, Smartly and Bolt.
